How have things changed?

The current financial situation makes it essentialfor LCPs to offer their Steering Groups andmemberships value for money with tangible

outputs. Partnerships more involved in policy and legislation

with development and implementation of theMarine Act e.g. facilitating consultation events

Remaining aware of current issues across theboard is more essential now than ever before

Networking and integrating issues is even more

vital within a changing policy context.
